Who Were The Highest Earning ‘American Idols’ Of 2015

Carrie Underwood, who topped the list in 2013 and 2014, was thrown off her throne this year by season 8 runner up Adam Lambert as the highest-paid American Idol contestant of 2015. Adam Lambert did something that not many people nobody will ever really get to do: be the frontman for the rock band Queen for the year as they toured the country. He tops the list at a heft $10 million dollars.

Ryan Seacrest was asked who he thought was the best American Idol of all time? His answer? Carrie Underwood and that was in front of Kelly Clarkson. Neither of those ladies topped the list this year.

Now, lets see who else is on the list, according to FORBES.
